Clearly this is a good example of a well researched aircraft.
Your attention to details as well as that of the camouflage can be appreciated … the best part … the pilot figure.
Very nice work John.

I love the style of incorporating the model, original photos, and some historical biography. I think it’d also look great (and save considerable space) mounted on the wall – might have to look into that; thanks.

That looks really great. I have the Eduard and ZVezda kits in 1/48 and the 1/32 Special Hobby Yak 3 also.
One query: I bought the Bergemot sheets for both scales. What are they like to apply? Any trick and traps? (the 1/48 set has 40 plus options and the 1/32 set about 25 options to choose from)

Hello Brett no thank you. The Bergemot decals were a little finicky…probably because I haven’t used them before. I used the micro scale products on them and got a little silvering on the stencils. In all likelihood user error on my part though. I found the fit of the Eduard kit better than Zvezda but less derailed. I built the Zvezda kit also and the surface detail was so fine it just about disappeared under primer.
